I'm looking for some advise for my 13yr old son. He only started cricket 3 years ago, so still relatively new.
He was told he has a nice natural style, and initially took many wickets. Now he gets lots of advise, and the main one is that he drops his head down, which stop the wides (which are generally one an over), he must straighten his head. But since the coaching started this year I think he hasn't played as well, and is struggling at times plus now hasn't got many wickets at all, although his economy is ok.
Watching other bowlers, Jimmy Anderson for example, he also drops his head down. I wonder if my son already over-compensated for this, and now can't throw more accurately. I also think his run up is too long, not smoother enough, and looking at videos follow through too short.
Any advice?
Thanks
